Hi Dave,
RH> Hominy grits in a can? I don't know, count them and them you'll know
RH> hominy grits in a can. (G)
DD> AFAIK ready-to-heat-and-rat grits in a can is a non-existent fantasy.
DD> That being said I do not like hominy (it's a texture thing) nor it's
DD> ground up form drywall spacle (grits). The only way I will voluntarily
DD> eat hominy is as Corn-Nuts.
But, at least you can eat it. Steve likes corn, and with corn on the cob
season starting soon, there will be lots of temptation. I don't buy it
for myself, tho he says I can, knowing how much he likes it but doesn't
like the migraines it gives him. One night on our recent trip we
boondocked at a Cracker Barrel and went in for supper (usual plan when
boondocking at a CB). Steve ordered a Campfire Meal, which came with 2
half ears of corn; I forget what I ordered but ended up taking about
half of it, plus Steve's corn (for me, later) to go. Not the best corn
I've ever had, nor the worst.
DD> OTOH - I loke regular corn just fine. Niblets, on the ear, popped,
DD> etc.
Same here. I picked up a bag of Beaver Nuggets at a Buc-ees stop while
on this last trip. They're flavored corn puffs; I got the cinnamon
sugar. Will post my opinion of them when I try them.
BC> What do vegan zombies say? "Graiiins"
RH> Ever meet any? No, because they don't do meat? (G)
DD> Very Punny!
BC> I like making jokes about vegans but never about tofu,
BC> that's just tasteless.
RH> Agreed, but this thread has some kick to it. Just got back Wed.
RH> afternoon from a 7,200 (+/-) mile trip. For the most part food was
RH> good, some was great, some was meh but that's travel.
DD> Tofu is one of those take-it or leave-it things. If it's in an
DD> Oriental entree and is sauced so there is *some* flavour -- then I'll
DD> eat it as
DD> part of the dish. But if the tofu is the main part of the dis ... No.
DD> thank you very much.
I used to press most of the water out, (sometimes) coat it like for
schnitzel--flour, egg and bread crumbs, then fry it. Other times I'd
just fry it after pressing and serve it with soy sauce. Good, but I
still will keep eating meat. (G)
